The international work aimed at replacing refrigerants with products with less environmental impact has been ongoing for decades. A framework of global agreements aimed at phasing out the climate-impacting refrigerants has been adopted.

Beijer Ref has its own manufacturing establishments for power packs in Europe and South Africa. We offer our customers both standardised products and customised solutions with the latest environmental technology.

Beijer Ref is observing a so-called quiet period in connection with its quarterly reporting. The ’quiet period’ consists of one month prior to the reporting date in the respective quarter. No financial communication with the media, investors, analysts and others will be made during the ‘quiet period’ prior to the publication of the quarter’s results.

Beijer Ref AB is acquiring the remaining 49 per cent of the shares in the Italian SCM Frigo Group, a leading manufacturer in Europe of refrigeration units based on environment-friendly carbon dioxide technology.

SCM Frigo, established in 1979, exports around 85 per cent of its products and has a strong market position within the rapidly expanding segment for environment-friendly refrigeration technology. The company reports sales of approximately SEK 240M and has 90 employees.

“Beijer Ref acquired 51 per cent of SCM Frigo in 2011 as it is one of the European companies which most successfully drives the transition to environment-friendly solutions within the refrigeration industry. The company’s development has since been so positive that our Group now elects to bring forward the option to acquire the remaining portion, says Per Bertland, CEO of Beijer Ref. ’With its unique technical competence within, for example, trans-critical carbon dioxide based refrigeration systems, SCM Frigo is included as an important part in Beijer Ref’s future strategy”.

SCM Frigo supplements Beijer Ref’s other product portfolio with standard products as well as customer-adapted solutions with the market’s most up to date environmental technology. This is expected to strengthen the Group’s competitiveness. SCM Frigo’s company management will continue to work in the company.
